Blog Changes

This made me kind of sad.


    BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! The moment has come to change my blog...to dark and SCARY! I wish it could be cute forever, but sacrifices must be made! Before my blog was super adorable with my favorite cartoon character, which is Rilakkuma. The coloring was bright with the use of warm colors, particularly yellow because it resembles happiness and lightness. At this point, we hadn't decided on the horror genre yet, and I kind of wanted to go for a more youthful movie at the start. I just decorated it to my own taste and did a bright aesthetic. However, I did start to use scary images for my blog posts in the middle of nowhere because we decided on the plot of our final project, so it looked really random with the cute background and scary little blog icons. Hence, I fixed it and made it all spooky because it was bothering me.

    As a result, I had to make my blog fit a more dark and sinister aesthetic. I changed the background to the antagonist of The Black Phone called "The Grabber" because he was a huge inspiration for our villain and plot since we went down the missing-person concept with a masked kidnapper. Additionally, I changed the font to IM Fell Great Primer SC because it is much bolder and catches your eye, and I colored it red to resemble danger like my blog is a whole new territory, and it is a warning. Additionally, the blog background color is beige, like rusty old paper. I changed my profile to Jason Voorhees because he is the famous masked killer from Friday the 13th. I made the background of the sidebar black to fit with the darkness of my entire blog to demonstrate a hint of death and evilness associated with my project. I changed ALL the images on my blog to fit my horror genre, and it took me forever because I have about forty blogs, and most of them still had cute images of cats and other aesthetic pictures from Pinterest. I even created a new blog to test out different colors and which options changed which colors, which took me a few hours. Nonetheless, I successfully changed my blog to the dark colors of black, grey, brown, and beige, with notable horror movie antagonists to fit my opening sequence.

    Thanks for reading! I hope you like the look of my blog and don't let it scare you too bad!

Camera Shots and Angles Post

Camera Shots and Angles Post 1. Establishing Shot I was kind of shy about having my face in all the videos, so I thought an establishing shot would be an excellent way to balance it out. In fact, establishing shots are usually used to introduce a location and to show where the action is taking place. Plus. also gives information about what time it is and what time of year it is. It was easy to film, although it was a bit too hot outside, but the weather was perfect for the shot. I chose pretty scenery and recorded it while it was still sunny and windy so it could evoke a calming mood while still showing a specific location. Hence, from the establishing shot, it is clear that it is currently the afternoon in a place with a lot of nature in a relaxing environment. 2. Eye Level Shot The eye-level shot feels as if you are looking through the lens of someone who is looking directly at me. It enables the audience to clearly see my emotions. Trying to film the eye-level shot was very awkward,

Mood Board

Mood Board Coraline (2009) Directed by Henry Selick      The movie Coraline (2009) is every child's worst nightmare. Theater-watching dogs, a talking cat, and instrument-playing mice make it all seem comical and childish; however, surprisingly, adults and children are horrified by this movie. It is not visually scary but conveys a more eerie and unsettling mood, the type that sends chills down your spine. We see Coraline slip into this new world, being deceived by her two-faced and button-eyed Other Mother as she uses the old doll of Coraline to watch her. The audience can't help but hopelessly watch her fall down this trap. Moreover, it uses elements that aren't gory or bloody but more underlying childhood fears like being separated from your parents, trapped, or bugs. The black void-like eyes and luring voice bring the audience back to the reality that she is evil and not her real mother. She keeps urging Coraline to stay and sew a button in her eyes. Bugs infiltrate th

Specific Camera Shots/Angles

Specific Camera Shots/Angles These are fire!      There were NUMEROUS different camera shots and angles in our opening sequence, but there were three specific ones that we picked that looked absolutely amazing in our final project. These ones were kind of made up on the spot, while we were at the playground, and we were so excited to have these in our project. They were so genius and we felt like real film directors. Overhead Shot      We wanted a shot where you could see the main character (Hailey) playing with her dolls, but also, to make it clear that she is alone, we chose an overhead shot. As a result, this allows the audience to establish what she is doing and also see her surroundings, making it clear that she is alone and vulnerable. The shot isolates her and makes her seem smaller and weak, so it evokes feelings of apprehension that she is a young child who can be kidnapped at any time, especially with all the missing children reports. Plus, it also shows that she is playi
